(09:00:50) anonymous: or could the bridge manager disable them from sending content until they are up for presenting?

                                                Have you ever celebrated at the cemetery? You're about to! For many of us death is an unpleasant reality of life but in the                                                                                  Hispanic Culture two days are reserved each year to celebrate and remember our loved ones who have died. Where does this                                                                         celebration take place? That's right, the cemetery. Hundreds of years ago the Aztecs spent an entire month celebrating the lives                                                                     of the dead. Today the holiday has evolved into two days during the month of November. These two days, however, are filled                                                                      with color and symbolism and history and music and food and tears. Many hispanic families in many countries around the world                                                                         celebrate Day of the Dead, and this is true in Texas as well. Come join us for a memorable celebration complete with history,                                                                    culture, music and dancing.
